coins from the machines performed as aV separate and distinct operation, and usually by a ditlerentperson.` In such case it is de` sii-able to make the person Who collects the coins individually responsible therefor, and to relieve the person who replenishes the f magazines from responsibility relative to the collection of the coins, and that is one of the objects ot this invention. Commonly such machines are detachably secured `and locked to a support, such as a Wall bracket, against unauthorized' removal., Vthereby to prevent the theft of the entire machine, and another' object in carrying out the invention is to improve sucli'locked securing device tor the machine and to make it dependent upon and subject to the security provided for the such device with a locking devicel which atitords security to the accumulated coins. Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear.

in carrying out the invention it has been embodied in a vending machine which in other respects is` substantially of the same consti-illctionas` that disclosed in my prior copending` application for patent Serial No.V

39,442, tiled June 25, 1925, and the present invention. relates more particularly to ifeatures of improvementembodied in the casing construction of a .vendingT machine `of 'that general type. Therefore, so far the present invention is concerned and in carry in;` out this rinvention in auvending.machine otthis commonly used general type, the ope 'ating features, 4including thev coin con trolled mechanism and -the deliveryl or vending mechanism, may be of any desired construction which is suited to the general type ot vending rmachine casingr in Which the present invention vis embodied. Ina commonly used *vending machine ot this type. for example such as is disclosed in my above noted prior application for patent, a strong base part or lower casing section forms a chamber in which the coins are received and. which also contains the coin controlled mechanism, and an upright rmagazine chambei' is formed by an upper' casing part superimposed upon this loWer `casing part and separately secured thereto so as to'be readily removable therefrom, thus to open the maga zine chamber for replenishing the stock of articles to be vended. yIn such Vmachines the casing base partis closed at itstop to form thereby a bottom for the magazine chamber and is provided at its lower endwvith a bottom closure to open downwardly, commonly beingi removable, and which forms a money pan to receive the accumulated coinsw Commonly heretofore in this typev of'vendinfe,r machine Whenv the' magazine chamber `is opened access may be freely `hadto-the coin chamberwith its accumulated coins.

-According to the present invention `and as carried out in the typeot vending machine above noted, novel or improved securingr means are provided to prevent unauthorizedV access tothe coin chamber when the magazine chamber is unlocked and opened by a person Who is authorized only lto `replenish the magazine and a distinctly separate authorization is required .in order to-obtain access to the coin chamber, for example, by including in such means locks which require (lirici-entv keys for the respective locks. ForV this purpose and in accordance'with the invention the money pan is provided With securing means individual thereto and in cluding al lock which preventsunauthorized access to the coin chamber. Also accord` ing to the invention, for preventing the un.- authorized removal ofthe machine from its Wall bracket, with which it has a detachable connection, manually releasable locking or 'securing means are provided which can be released or disengaged only byunlocking` and opening the bottom closure or money pan. More[')articularly'V such means comprise a locking device carried by the side Wall of the casing base part oreoin chamber to have locking engagement with thewall bracket and which is Vaccessible to `bedis-` engaged Ytherefrom only from Within the coin chamber after this chamber has been Y opened by unlocking' the money pan. The invention further. includes various features ot construction and combinations of parts,

as will appearirom the'following descrip.- tion. Y

The vending machine construction by which theinventionpis carried out according to 4the; embodiment thereof. yillustrated in Figs `1rto.iii'nclnsive of the accompanying drawingswill first be particularly described aftcrwhich aparticnlar description will be givenl of the somewhat modified embodiment ofthe;v` invention shown in Figs.` 6 andi. However, it `may be here noted that" the vending machine shown in Figs. 1 to 5 inelusive aacrtlmtshown in Figs Gand? are of Similar general construction throng-hout exceptinggin the rcspectiand to the extent of thechanges or Inodiiication in construction which 'relate tothe present inventionfiExcepting 'as "to improvements made by the present invention, the1 general: constrnction of bothm'achines shownin the drawings is sulistantially i the saine as `that disclosed in my hcreinbetorementioned 'prior applica tion Yfor patent, in regard to both the enclosing casing eonstructionaml the coin con trolled. andvending mechanisms therein. vIt is to' be understood that the coin controlled mechanism, parts of which are shown in Fig. (5, is to be considered as likewise similarly embodied in the vending machine shownin Figs. 1' tofinclusive and that the construction ot' the vending mechanism, parts ol,t which are shownin Fig. 6 andl also to a somewhat less extent `in Fig". his sub`- stant'ally the same in both of the machines shown in the drawings. In regard to thepreseiit invention, it may be noted thatfthe manually releasableflneans for detiiehably securing andlocking the machine lo its wall braeketarc of the same construction iirboth of the machines shown in the drawings.

Referring now more 'particularly to Figs. l to 5 inclusive, fn the vending n'iachinc there shown a strong and rigid` casing base part or section, which may be a suitable casting, forms a coin chamber and also contains the coin controlled operating mechanism` (sec Fig. (i). '.l`hialowe1- casingr pai-'t or casing base includes an enclosing side wall 1, open at its lowerl end and closed ai, ite upper end by, afla't top wall 2, and this casing `hase may also include other parts or vfeatures which, for clarity otillustration, are not all shown, auch as a forwardly localed partition wall (Fig. 2) to auppo'rtand form a compartment ior the coin controlled mechanism (Fig. 6).V The side wall 1 is shownas slight-` ly tapering upwardly and as for the moety part circular (Figf) midis" shown as provided with a forwardly projecting lint portion which adjacent the lower end is circumferentially continnouswwith the circular portion A11 upwardly removable front slide 3, provided at its top with an inner flange, may be guided in the main wall part 1. A removable money pan forms a downwardly opening'hottom closure, for thewlower end ot' the coin chamber andF is shown as cast in one piece to have a flatbottom 4, and a slightly upwardly flaringside ywall 5, which lits withinthe lower end of the coin chamber side wall 1 and abutsfagainst' ashonlder formed thereon, so that coins Set "free in the coin chamber by the coin controlled mechanism drop into this mene f pan, which is nor mally supportedand loc (ed in closed condi` tion by means involving the present invention and presently to-be described.

An upright upper magazine casing pari closed at its top is removably supported upon and closedl at its `bottom by the closed upperend of the coin chamber time to form a closed magazine chamber. A thick glassi cylinder of the cylinder is closed by a strong metal cover S'flanged over the upper end thereof. The lower ring 7v and the top yclosure 8 may be castings, and are shown secured to the glass cylinder 6 by means of a suitable ad-V hesive so that thereby the ent-ire magazine casing part or `section may be lifted olilv as a` unit for .replenishing the magazine, although so far as the present invention is concerned this upper casing .part could be en-k .For reasons which will presently appear 1 f able disc 9 having acentral bore andprovided as shown with` a long lower boss and with ashort upper boss over which fitsa plate 10 to be rotated by thevdisc..4 The lower ends of vertical strips 11forming wings, are secured `to the plate 1 0` and the upper ends ofthese strips are tied together by a centrally apertured kupper plate 12. These strips 11 and the plates 10` and 12 may be formed of suitable sheet metal. Articles or packages to be vended, such aspackagcs of chewing gum,- are to be contained in the channels formed by the stripsi11, to rest upon the magazine bottom VL*4 andto be carried around thereon for effecting their delivery.

`In the construction shown, the money pan andthe magazine part rofl the casing are firniily secured together `and to the coil receiving chamber or casing base part by i means of a central locking shaft or tie rod 13 which normally firmly but reileasablyk ties togetherthe bottom a of the money pan and the top 8 of the ma, ;azine`.A This tie rod is shown as headed above :the magazine top 8 `and passes` downward freely and loosely through the bore inthevrotatable dise 9 into the bore of a tubular upstanding boss 14 which is cast on the inner` side of the bottom f1 of the money pan `centrally thereof. A suitable loc-k operable only by an authorized person is provided for releasably engaging the lower end of the tie rod 13 which together withlthe bore in the Vbase 14; isY `shown as'flattened on one side and such lock j may be a vkey-operatedlock with its locking mechanism of standard commercial construetion. The lock shown has an outer cylindrical rotatable part or barrel 1.5 seated vand journaled in 'a lower downwardly opening shoulder-forming enlargement of the bore through the central boss 14 and money pan bottom 1, as shown inthe drawings, so that this lock is accessible for locking and unlockingfrom beneath the Amoney pan. This lock has usual lock bolts 1G to project from its bari-ello and which may be withdrawn in the usual way by means of a suitable key, whereupon by means of the key the lock barrel 15 may be rotated for thereby effecting `locking engagement with kor unlocking disengagement from the lower end of the tie rod 13, these lock bolts 16 inftheir pro-Y jccted position, shown in Fig. 1, engaging in grooves 17 formed in the enlarged portion. of the borein the boss 14,.`it being noted lofV Fig. Q, that by reason of the unlocked condition and the section there taken, neither the lock bolts 16 nor the keeper grooves therefor appear. When this lock is in the unlocked condition the entire magazine casing part, carrying with it the locking shaft or tie rod 13 Vmay, be lifted off,l as shown in Fig. 2, forreplenishing the magazine, after `which this magazine casing part to- `gether withthe tie rod 13 may be replacedn in a similar manner, the upper' end of` the bore .in the boss 1li being shown as flaring4 for the easy entrance therein of the lower end of therod 13.

In this" embodiment oftheinvention, so far as it has been described, itwill he noted that the above VVdescribed locking means lock the magazine chamber against unauthorized. access and also similarly lock the money pan of the coin chamber, so that thus not only will the person whose duty it is to replenish the magazine carry a key for the above de# scribed locking device, butV also the person whose duty it` is to collect the accumulated I coins will carry a duplicate key for the same lock. `The vending machine-construction as so fardescribed, excepting as to features of the money pan and its locked releasability from the tie rod, does not differ greatly from 'the vending machine disclosed in my above noted prior application for patent, and the features of improvement more particularly relating to the present invention will now be described.

Before proceeding further it may be notd that the vending machine shown in the wrawings--is intended'to be supported from he side walll ofthe casing base by means of a wall bracket construction, thereby to provide for the downward opeiiing andre y p ral of themoney pan with the coins contained therein, and the bracket construction employed for this purpose embodies features having a cooperating relation in the present invention, as will `l'iereinafter apkse pear.v In accordance with the invention, further rcleasable` securing and locking means are provided for the money pan which can be unlocked and released only by a person who is authorized to collect the coins from the machine, such means being also effective to prevent the unauthorized renioval of the machine from the wall bracket which forms a support therefor.

In carrying out the invention in the embodiment thereof shown inthe drawings a pair oi substantiallysimilar right andleft reinforcing brackets 1S andY 19, respectively, are iirlnly secured to the casing base wall l at the inner side thereof and adjacent its lower end. These two brackets are capable oi'iserving likefnnctions but are of somewhat different shape for fitting the different contenir' of the wall 1 at the opposite sides oi theinuchine. The left hand reinforcing bracket 19 is fixed in place by means of a pair oli' similar-screw bolts 20 which pass from the inside through the bracket 19 and are screwedY through the wall 1 where they `may desirably have their outer ends upset or riveted as shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The right-hand reinforcing bracket 18 is similarly liked in place by means oi a pair of machine bolts 21 having their nuts at the innerside of this bracket and which from their outer heads pass inwardly freely Atluough'an outer base bracket 22 and extend likewise freely inward through the Wall 1 and reinforcing bracket 18, for thereby hrmly securing this reinforcing bracket and the base bracket together and to the yWall 1.

i The entire machine may be rigidly'but rem'ovalolyV supported, upon any convenient walliorl the like 23 (Fig. 3)v by means of a suitable wall lnacket, 2e1`\vl1ich is shown as firmly mounted on the wall 23 by means oi. countorsunkattaching screws 25 of which anysuitiible numbermay be employed and which pass through a fiat body or plate portion oi this bracket and into the Wall 23. ln" the bracket construction shown the Wall bracket 24 has upper and lower oppositely directedfgibs 2G and 27 providing a horixontal guidcway in which upper and lower .its guideway and1 which limits the sliding movement oftlie base bracket 22 in one dircctionl in the wall bracket 24 and enables theyfbasebracket to be quickly and conveniently slid intoposition on the Wall bracket.

Thefreinforcing brackets 18 and" 19 areVV embodiedinand form cooperating parts of the means for individually locking the money pan in closed condition and also these rein iorcing Vbrackets are embodied in and iforin cooperating parts of means to prevent the removal ofthe machine from'the wall 70 bracket 2l until the individual locking device for the money pan has been released or disengaged by the unlocking of an individual money pan lock. as will presently be described, but iirst the means provided accord 75 ing to this invention as a feature thereof for preventing the unauthorized removal of the machine from its wall bracket 2-1- will be described. I

In the illustrated construction the right- H0` hand reinforcing bracket 18 has prmi'ided therein adjacent its forward end andy lower margin a screw threaded aperture 32, this aperture passing through ai thick portion of the bracket which is shown as further thick- 95 cned by means' of an inwardly projecting boss y33,-and the left hand reinforcing bracket 19 is similarly providedadjucent its rear end and lower margin with a similar screw threaded aperture 34, the thickness of 90' this bracket at this point being increased by means of an inner boss 35.

The particular machine shown in the drawingsis supported from 'its right side on the wall 23, as shown in Fi'fure El, and this "5 right side of the machine, which appears at the bottom of li`ig. 3, is shown at the right hand side of Fig 1. The machine is locked against ,the unauthorized disengagement of the base bracket 22 from thewall bracket 24 100 by means of anV inwardlyk headed screw threaded locking pin y36 which adjacent its head screws into the aperture `32 through the reinforcing bracket 18, this vlocking pin having a somewhat reduced smooth outer m5 end portion which projects outwardly through aligned apertures in the casing base wall l and inthe base bracket 22, beyond which this pin projects so that normallyt the outer end portion oi this locking pin 36 1m' snugly engages in a socket-forming hole 37 provided through the flat bascor body portion ofthe Wall bracket 24, thereby normally preventing the base bracket 22 from being slid out of the 4wall bracket 24. l'Vhen it U5 is desired to remove the machinefrom the Wall bracket 2lthe locking pin 36 is screwed out of the reinforcing bracket 18 sufficiently to withdraw the outer end of this pin from the socket khole 37 in the Wall` bracket 2A, ma whereupon the base bracket 22 may be freely slid out of the wallbracket 24.

In' mounting the machine lon its wall bracket 24, Whenjthe base bracket 22 ,is slid into the Wall bracketwith its strengthening 12 web or stop wall 30 abutting against the stop lug 31 of t 1e wall bracket, the outer rounded end of the locking pin 36 comes into align` nient with the socket hole 37 in the Wall 13d bracket, and is brought into engagement with thewall bracket by screwing the locking pin 86 outward so that theouter end thereof will then enter the socket 37, as shown most clearly in 1. By reason of the fact that the head of the screw threaded locking pin 86 is within the coin chainbcr it becomes obvious that this pin cannot be disengaged from the wall bracket without first unlockingand opening the bottom closure of the coin cliambei`wliich is formed by the money pan, thereby preventing unauthorized removal of the machine from the wall bracket 24 andl rendering such removal dependent upon the locking means for the money pan. o

Vending machines of the type in which this invention has been embodied are commonly supported either from the right or the left side thereof or from the back thereof. Vendingmachines of this general type have commonly been mounted upon and supported by either the right or the left side wall of a weighing machine or scale, so that thereby the front of the vending machine will bedirected towards the `front of the weighing machine, and the supporting wall 23 may be considered as the left hand wall of a weighing machine. The vending machine sliown in the drawings may be supported equally `well either from its, right side upon a left hand wall, as shown, or from its left side upon a right hand wall, without necessitating any change in the construction shown.

For thus supporting the vending machine from its left side the base bracket 22 is simply transferred to the opposite or left side of the machine immediately outward from the left hand reinforcing bracket 19 and is there secured in place by means of the same mach'ne bolts 21 which 'are then transferred to that Aside of Vthe machine, while the screw bolts 20ers similarly transferred from the left to the rightside of the `machine for then seciufing in'place the righthand reinforcing bracket `18. K Likewise the screw threaded longitudinally movable locking pin 3G removed from the right hand reinforcing bracket 18 and transferred to the left hand reinforcing bracket 19, where it is screwed into thc screw threaded aperture 34 through this latter bracket, passing thence through the side wall' 1 and the base bracket 22 for locking engagement with or disengagement from the wall bracket 24 in the same way as at the right hand, side of the machine, as abovedescribed.` o Y. L

It will thus be'seen` that the base bracket 22 and the locking'pin 36 may cooperateinterchangeably `with the'respective .reinforcing brackets 18 `and 19. `Also it'bec'omcs manifest that these reinforcing brackets' are homologous in `thatV in the above noted ref spect, as well as in others hereinafter to be described, they may have like functions.

An inner face view of the left hand reinforcing bracket 19 appears in Fig. 2, while asimilar view of the right handV reinforcing bracket, 18 ma rbc seen ingFir; 7 where the construction in other respects, but notas to this bracket is somewhat modified, as will presently he describedf Should it be desired for any reason to support the vending machine shown in Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive from its back, in that respect similar to what is shown in Fig. G, this may be accomplished merely by installing a second reinforcing" ACI! the left hand reinforcing bracket 19, in such ease the reinforcing brackets 18 and 19 con.- tinuing 'to serve their further function asa feature of the releasable securing meansfor removably holding the money pan inlocked condition on the coin chamber against unauthorized access thereto, by reason of which the unauthorized removal ofthe machine from its wall Vbracket is prevented;V The Y features relating to themean's for releasably holding and individually locking the 4money pan in place will now be described; V

In the construction shown the money pan, at diametrically opposite points on the inner side of its side wall 5 and shown as forining a part of the same casting, is provided with a `pairof pockets' 38 providing deep vertical sockets which extend from' the top of the money pan down to its bottom 4, as shown in Fig. 1. The respective reinforcing "brackets 18 and 19Vrigidly` carry downwardly projecting keeper studsV or lock studs 39. Each of Athese keeper studs 39 is squared and shouldered into the "lower side otits reinforeingbracket to prevent rotative movenient of the stud while its shoulder serves as a head, above which the stud is :cylindrically reduced and, forthe right hand stud, passes upwardly through a. lowershelf or boss 40 on the right -hand .reinforcing brackets 18 and for theVA left hand stud, through a simiico lar shelf or boss Ll1 on the'leftfhandreinl i forcing brackct'plQ, the upperf end ofjc'ach of' these studs which' projects abovev such shelf being screw` threaded and Jrovided with a nut 42 by which such stud 'istirmly secured iniposition on its'ieinforcing brack- 1 et.` The lowerVV squared portion offeach of the lock studs 39 extends ldownward within its socket `38t0 a point adjacentthe bottom i of the money pan.. The lower'vend of cach keeper stud, on its innei" `"de, is provided with un abrupt upwardlydirected.v

shoulder 'or keeper abutment 148 which "is shown as V.formed by means of a deep squareshouldered notch 44 in the keeper stud. The ktwo reinforcing brackets l18 and 19, the

lbase` bracket 22 and the wall bracket 24 may margin of the money pan bottom 4, so that the upper or inner surface of this.r disc is flush `with the upper surfaoeof' this inner rib 46, as appears in Fig. 2. `This disc 45 1s Shown as provided with two diametrically opposite large peripheral notches 47, thereby to enable this disc, in effecting the assembly, to be put in place down past the socket-forming pockets 38, as will be readily understood, Toipreventthe possibility ot' coinsfgettingbeneath the disc 45, the money pan; rib 46 is provided with apair of inwai-dlyfextending ribs 48 which form bottomclosures for the large openings 47, in both the locked and unlocked rotative positions ofthe locking'dise 45, kas is shown for the unlocked position in Fig. 3 and for the locked position in Fig. 4.

Thecircular periphery of the locking disc or )late 45'enters the sockets formed by the po'cets 38 through inner slots in thesepockets (Fig. l1, 4and 5) there, inthe locked condition of the money )an shown in Figs. 'land'4, substantially fully to enter the lock stud notches 44 and thus to have locking en.-

gagement above ,the keeper abutments 4B' rovided by these notches. The locking disc 45 is restrained against upward movement relative to themoney pan by reason of its engagement in the above disc-receiving slots in the socket pockets 38, lit being noted that the locked disc 45 is thus restrained in close proximity tothe keeper stud 39 (Fig. l), vthereby firmly and .securely to support the moneypan in its locked condition upon the bottom of the coin chamber, y The periphery of the locking disc 45 has thereiny a pair of diametrically opposite unlockingr or studrele'asing notches 49 which, when rotative movementof thelockingdisc 45 brings them into alignment with the lock studs- 39, will Vdiscngage the locking disc 45 from the keeper abutments 43 and thereby release the money pan from the coin chamber, in so far as` this securing device is concerned.

VA device including a lock operable only bly an authorized person is provided `:for impartingfvrotative locking and unlocking' movements to the,locking disc 45 and A.will

.inserm now be described.- In the Construction shown for carrying out the invention a rotatable cam 50,*pivoting on a vertical axis and having a peripheral cam face of the proper contour, engages the A.locking discy 45 within a cam opening l therein, the cam engaging the opposite sides of this opening, for thereby imparting locking and unlocking rotative movement tothe locking `disc when the cam 50 is rotated. The lower face of this cam is flush with the lower face of the locking disc 45 and rests upon` a slight boss or raised portion on the money pan bottom such boss also forming a guide for the lowerl side of the locking disc 45 at this point. At its upper side the cam 5() .provided with a flange 52 whieh overliesl and guides the locking disc45 and which also tol-ms a cover for the camopening 5l therein. In theconstruction shown, the rotative disc-operating movements of the cani 50 are. limited to about ninety degrees bymcans of a dowmvardly projectingstiul 53 on the cam which worksin an arcuate slotr 54 provided in the raise-dportion of the money panbottom 4 (Figs. 2, and When the cam 5() is rotated or rocked in a clockwise direction, as viewed from the inside from the position of this cam shown in Fig. 4 to the dotted line Vposition thereof shown in Fig. 3, this cam 5() willtheii rotatoor rockthe disc 45 in the opposite or counter-clockwise directirm. from the locking orf securing position thereof shown in Figs. Vl and 4 to the unlocking position thereof shown in Figs. 3 and 5, thereby disengaging this disc from the keeper studs 39, ,Av reverse movement of this cam will impart a reverse movement to the disc 45, to rotate it back again into engagement with these keeper studs'as showninFigs. l and 4. Thiscam 50` thus forms an Aoperating member for the securing member or locking disc 45.

fThe disc-operating cam 50 is carried and operated by the rotatable barrelor cylinder 5,5 of a key-operated lock, this' lock barrel )assing upwardly throughmthe money pan bottom 4` and being outwardly shouldered and journaled in a lower boss 56 formed thereon. The cam 50 is fitted over the in- AVner upwardly projecting end oi' the lock barrel and is locked thereto to be rotated 'therebyby means of a diametral ridge 57 on the cam seated in a groove in the end of the lock barrel, and the Ycam 5() is firmly secured. in place upon the inner end of the lock barrel 55 by means of an axial screw screwed into ythe inner end of the lock b arrel. The s locking mechanism of .the lock havingthe barrel or cylinder 55, may be of any suitable or of standard commercial' construction,A and this llock is shown as havingr usual lock bolts 59 to engage in grooves (30 formed in the bore of the boss 56, thereby tolock the cam 50 and thus to lockthc lockyso `i no ,shown in Fig.` upper removable casing vpart `orming the embodiment of theinvention pr ,vides in# creased security against unauthorized access tothe coin chamber for `the removal ot the accumulated coins, or `for the removal 'and carrying away of the vending machine as ak whole together with its contained vcoins and packages of goods to be vended, The person whose business it istoreplemsh the magaszine is provided with a key only torthe lockof the above described securing- ,and locking device which gives access to the magazine chamber only, whiletheperson vvliosebusi# ness itis to collcctthe coins, or to remove the entire machine from its support, carries two keys, one for each of thetwo locks of the two securing and locking devices. A key like that carried by the person who replenishes the magazine will not unlock the lock which gives access to the coin chamber. Y The modified embodiment of the invention shown in Figs. 6 and 7 will now be described. vFor the sake of clarity thennmodilied fleatures and .parts of the vending machine there shown and which are also shown in Figs. l to 5 inclusive have been'given thesame reif;V erence numerals as in the preceding figures and-additional. reference numerals have only been employed toV designate those features and parts which have beenniore or less modified or` changed in construction. 4In this `e1nhodiment of the invention a locking shaft or tie rod 6l, which extends `vertici ily through the machine between its upperand lower ends, is tixedly secured in placeV in the machine by means of a iixed bracket 62 located within the coin chamber and provided rwith al split clamp bearing within which the tie rod` 6l is firmly clamped and gripped by a clamping boltB. w l

The bracket 62 shown as projecting rearwardly from an .inwardly .tixed portion oi a iorwardly located vertical partition wall l6l and as formed in one piece therewith and this partition lwall together with the bracket G2 may be cast in one piece with vtheside wall l `and top wall 2 ot the coin chambeA or it may be otherwise firmly and rigidly securedv therein .so far as the invention is con-l cerned. This partition wall forms a 'torward compartment tocontain the coin .controlled mechanism and also supports and provides bearingsfori-partsthereof, as The top closure G5 of the magazine chamber is provided'on its inner or lower side'centrally thereof with. ay tubular boss 66 within which the upper flattened end of the tie rod Glfis releasably engaged armi locked by a suitable `key-operated lock 6T which may/be similar in construction and operation to the lock per sel shown lor the `lower end oifthe tie rod 13 in the lirst described v'ending machine. This lockGT is seated in an outer enlarged portion of 'the bore of thetubular boss (3G and exposedft'or operation at the top of the magazine cover 65. The removable money pan (38, which ilforms a closure *lier the lower end of the casing wall l of the coin chamber, is prov'idedr i with a central upstanding tubular boss G9 within which the lower flattened'end oft the *y tie` rod 6l is releasably engaged and locked by a key-operated lock 70, ythe'y barrel or cylmderof which is seated .in a lowery etu- 4larged portion ofthe bore of thc boss 69 with the lower end oit the lock exposed below the money pan G8 for operation of the lock. This lock for the money pan may be similar in its general lmechanism to the upper lock 67 for the magazine, but having itslocking mechanism so constructed or arranged that different keys are required for each of these two locks.

The person who isauthorized to replenish themagazino has a key for the magazine lock G7 only, so that, by reasono't the secure holding or fixing of the tie rod Gl against removal without access to the locked coin chamber, he isunable to gain access to the latter chamber, while the person who is authorized to collect the accumulated coins is provided with a keyiior the money pan lock. Also the coin collector may be provided with another key for' thev magazine lock'67, il so desired. i i

This machine is shownas supported from the rear of the com chamber base wall l upon a wall or the like 7l, whichmay be a wallror similar structure of a building, and

in order to detach or remove the machine.

as a whole accessinust `first be' had to the individually locked coin chamber; To prevent the unauthorized removal ot the machine the same supporting bracket construction, together with its locking device, isv shown as employed that has already been` leave off trom the reinforcing .bracket 18 the separabledepending keeper stud 39.

Wrhile the. particular vending machine' shown in the drawings shown as supported attherear thereof it obvious that it could equally well be supported lirom'some other point around the wall '1, sueltas from the lleft or right side thereof, in order thereby to have the front oi." thevending machine izo 'in a. convenient position where Such machine tioned, that the parts o't the vending mechanism and ot the coin controlled mechanism shownin'Fig. 6 may be considered as likewise to be employed in the vending machine first described with reference toFigs. 1 to 5 inclusive, where these mechanism parts were omitted for. the clear `illustration Vof the features ofY the invention without further amplifying the drawings with additional figures. It may be further noted ot the vending machine shown in Figs. 6 and 2'` that this machine is provided with an upper wall bracket 72 firmly ,and rigidly secured vby means of` screws to the. wall 71 and having an outwardly and upwardly projecting bracket arm 73 over `the tree vertical upper end of which there `removably fits` a rearwardly projectingr apertured lug 74 carried by the `magazine top and shown as cast thereon. This upper bracket 72 serves as a strengthening brace and renders it necessary that the magazine chamber as well as the coin chamber shall be unlocked in order to permit the base bracket 22 to slide horizontally out ot' the supporting wall bracket 24 in removing the machine from the latter bracket.v While this upper wall bracket 72 has not been shown in Figs. l to 5 inclusive, it is evident that it could becsimilarly employedwith the vending machine there illustrated if so desired. This feature of the upper wall bracket is included in the disclosed subject matter of my earlier cepend-y ing applicationfor patent SerialNo. 127,832, tiled August 7, 1926.

It will now be manifest that the invention may be practically carried out and its objects eifectively accomplished by means of either of the hereinbefore described vending machine constructions shown in. the `.drawings. `lt Ais to be noted ,and attention is directedy to the tact that the features of invention* in both of these machines may be readily: applied to and combined in a single' vending machine construction. For example, the features of the invention shown in Figs. 6 and 7 may be employed in the vending machine construction shown in Figsl to 5 inclusive, there to be supplemental to and to. cooperate with the features of the invention there shown. For accomplishing this result, the locking shaft or tie rod 13 '(Fig. 1).,y could be anchored or iixedin the coin chamber and to its side wall' 1 by means of the same or substantially the same constructiony shown for this purpose in Fig.

, G Afor thetie rod 61, thusflikewise inQFg. 1

toprevent the removalof the' tie rod 13 until access had been had 'to the locked coin chamher.` In such case an upper lock like thelock G7 in'Fig. 6 would be applied to the upper end ot'fthe tie rod 13. The-magazine re,- plenisher would then have a key for this upper or magazine lock only. Both of the lower locks 15 and k55 would then become exclusively locks for the money pan, thereby affordingaugmented security against unauthorized access to the coin chamber, and the coin collecter would have keys for both of such money pan locks.

It is obvious that various modifications in Vconstruction maybe made in the vending machines shown in the drawingsas embodiments ot the invention and Ywhichhave been above particularly described, within the principle and'scope ot the invention as delined inthe appended claims.
